I'm 25 and my roommate is 26. He has some mental health problems. We have been friends for about 2 years, but only moved in with each other in January. Two weeks into, I am hear him scream in his sleep. I of course think he is being murdered and get up and go check on him. He started crying and I told him it was ok, he was safe and just sat with him for a minute. He asked if I would stay with him. I said sure. So I laid down next to him. After about 20 minutes, I told him his bed was too soft for me. He said we can go to your room. I was like ok. So we went and slept in my bed.

For the guys waiting for this to get gay, it doesn't. But he comes into my room at least twice a week, sometimes more when he is scared or has had a bad dream and I let him. Nobody else knows about this except my girlfriend. I told her because I let her know that it might happen if she is sleeping over and he might want to sleep on the floor in our room or something. I expected her to be weirded out by it, but she snuggled me and said, I love how you are such a good friend to him. He really needs that. So yeah. My PTSD roommate sometimes sleeps next to me and it is totally no homo.
